We got our first snowfall of the season overnight, about 2 or 3 inches.  That was enough to close the schools.  It's a beautiful wet and heavy snow, and it's very windy.  The sun is coming out this afternoon, but if the snow doesn't all melt, it will turn to ice.  That will close schools again tomorrow.  That's what our granddaughter is hoping for!

There is this card game Colonizators (dont mix it up with its bigger board version). Go for the card game. Its quick, easy to learn and if you lie building stuff its awesome. We always take it with us when we are travelling 

My friend Google is having a hard time finding anything on this game.  Do you have a link or a picture?

We don't have a big supply of games, but for the past few months we have been playing this one that my brother recommended.  We like it, but we're ready to move on to something else.  Anyone have any suggestions for good 2-person board games?

I left some sponges on the counter last night, and found this waiting for me this morning.

Yup, but she comes when you call her. I swear she was a dog in her past life.

We have a couple of those dog-like cats as well.  This one joins me at the computer whenever I sit down.  He's glad we're stuck at home.

We enjoy messing with the squirrels that want to eat from the bird feeders, so we got one of these:

Its part of the 14 acre RC airplane facility. They also have a couple of race tracks. Expensive hobby

Oh, my husband would love it there.  He spends a good portion of his day building and flying huge RC planes.  Yes, the hobby is expensive, but I say it's cheaper than a psychiatrist.  

I guess this means no more stowaway piano on the elevator.  Glad I got to see it on the Symphony on its next to last cruise.  The elevator was packed with people singing along, and no one wanted to get off.  🎹 🎶 

I took this photo of our granddaughter a year ago, and it's been my desktop background ever since.  I look at it every day.  Until recently, it reminded me of the curiosity of a little girl standing on her tippy toes, excitedly watching the neighborhood activity.  But lately I realized it also represents how I feel while we respond to the stay at home order.  I yearn to be in the world out there, but it's a little scary.  I think I'll stay inside and look through the window a little longer.

Here's a link to your roll call https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2718115-odyssey-of-the-seas-17-april-2021-east-bound-transatlantic/

Nuts and Berries (Frangelico, Chambord, and cream or half and half) from Two70 on Quantum or Anthem, can't remember which.  I had asked the bartender, what would she suggest for breakfast? 

Your posts are a welcome diversion from current events. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos. Enjoy your cruise.

Not a germaphobe, just curious. I figured one of the knowledgeable and helpful folks on this forum would know the answer. Thank you, Knighton.

But seriously, since the chips are handled by lots of people, does the casino have any procedures for sanitizing them?

That’s money laundering 

That's funny.  Maybe they send them to the laundry in those $24.99 laundry bags? 🤑   I've seen a dealer "wash the cards."   🃏

Do casino chips ever get washed or cleaned in some fashion?

I enjoyed your review and the pictures of the ship and ports.  The Scavenger Hunt sounds like great fun for a group.  We've only done one family cruise, but you've inspired me to organize another!  

I'm experiencing the exact same thing.  I even keep getting robotic emails reminding me to make MTD reservations.  So, I called and they emailed me a list of everything I have reserved, and all the MTD times are in there.  It still says "At your Leisure" in the CP, but they assured me the times I reserved are still valid.
